The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
What is a real sword (1)
Before the Great Atlas War began, Hwarang Guild was the undisputed number one guild in Korea, possessing the largest territory and guild members.
However, after the blacksmith shop and Atlas were revealed to the world, he was effectively left in second place.
And the Avengers and their guild members who had the #1 ranked Korean player, Lee Hwan, couldn’t understand him.
In particular, the master of one guild.
And the current number one ranked company in South Korea is participating in the production of something like a turtle ship?
Of course, in the end, it was beneficial to the Master.
Because I raised all stats by 1 and leveled up by 1 in about 20 days.
But the mouths of those who witnessed him are the problem.
– Has anyone seen Lee Hwan carrying bricks?
-I used to be ranked number one… …and I was the master of a place called Hwarang Guild… … .
-Hey, Mr. Lee, stop talking nonsense and throw a brick!
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
He became a laughing stock among the people.
Also, the executives of the Avengers and Hwarang couldn’t understand.
What’s with that one sword?
Of course, he was outstanding, and it is true that through him, Yi Hwan played an active role in the Continental War.
But is it really that much?
He then came back after finishing making this turtle ship and said:
‘He taught me the true meaning of the turtle ship, and I approached it with a noble heart. Hyunsoo even made sure that the turtle ship creators were the first to enter the turtle ship and receive buffs.’
It is true that Hyunsoo repaid them to that extent.
But this was because the results were good, and it can be said that the Avengers realized Hyun-soo’s shallow intentions.
“He will want Lee Hwan.”
“That can’t be helped, Hyeon’s blacksmith shop will greatly need Hwarang’s strength right now.”
The blacksmith shop of Hyeon declared itself an independent territory.
That is, the current blacksmith shop is now a small country that does not belong to the Kingdom of Goyard.
And to become a real nation.
Also, Hwarang’s full power will be needed to save the current most dangerous blacksmith shop.
But as long as they hold out, that won’t happen.
also.
“There will never be an artifact that will satisfy Lord Yi Hwan to that extent. You both know that, don’t you?”
There was one secret of Lee Hwan that only the executives knew.
That is the penalty that exists in Yi-Hwan’s class.
Because of that penalty, Yi-Hwan will never actually be able to obtain an artifact that he is satisfied with.
At that time.
Executives expressed their concerns.
“But just in case… … .”
“Isn’t Hyun the one who repairs even unrepairable artifacts?”
The old vengeance was confident.
“Oh my, that doesn’t happen!?”
Still, executives were concerned.
“If that happens, I’ll go to the blacksmith shop and dance to the Zero Two that was popular 20 years ago!!!”
The executives flinched at those words.
The Avengers were muscular, well-maintained men in their 60s.
An old man like that dances Zero Two?
‘Ouch… I just imagined it…!’
That was how confident the Avengers were.
The penalty for this transfer was so great… … .
After all the executives came out.
The Avengers, who had said they would dance Zero Two, looked out the window.
‘Actually, it’s okay to side with Hyun’s blacksmith.’
The Avengers were people who truly cared for and loved Yi-Hwan.
Actually, I look forward to it.
‘I can go to Hyun’s blacksmith shop and dance Zero Two.’
He also hopes for that much.
Because of the class penalty, the only thing left for Lee Hwan was to fall.
***
Hyunsoo was actually disappointed.
‘My honey pot… … .’
As if Lee Hwan was a free honey that he could take out and eat whenever he needed it.
Every time he ran out of money, didn’t Hwan rent a twin dragon sword that cost more than 10 million won per day?
‘I have to clean up my honey pot with my own hands… … .’
Of course, even so, Hyunsoo plans to do his best.
Hwarang Guild is a place with an enormous number of guild members and rankers.
Also, after Hyun-soo became a count, many people became counts.
One of them was Lee Hwan.
So, it could be said that the power of the Hwarang Guild was very necessary for Hyun-soo.

‘If possible, try to make it a transcendent level… ‘
My determination to make it collapsed in 5 minutes.
“My class, the genius of the early stages, has greater power than any other class. It benefits more than some legendary classes.”
This is the secret to how Lee Hwan was able to become number one in the rankings.
“The problem is that there is a penalty of ‘not being able to wear artifacts higher than legendary grade.’”
“… … ?”
‘Can there be such a penalty?’
It was the worst penalty I’ve ever seen.
‘Ah, so that’s why… … .’
This was the part where you could see why Lee Hwan was so obsessed with the legendary twin dragon swords.
Although it cannot be compared to the Transcendent Twin Dragon Swords, the Legendary Twin Dragon Swords are still excellent among the existing Legendary grade artifacts.
“Then, if I make a Transcendent Grade Artifact… … .”
“It’s of no use to me.”
What’s the point of having it if you can’t wear it in the first place?
This is a pie in the sky that I only heard about.
And Hyunsoo could see the shadow cast on Hwan’s face.
It seemed to suggest that his splendid life did not have much time left.
‘It can’t be helped… … .’
In the first Ares, where only legendary-grade artifacts were released, Lee Hwan became the number 1 in the Korean rankings by using the class of Baldo’s Genius, which became more prominent in the early stages.
The problem lies with the second Ares.
From now on, Transcendence grade artifacts will continue to be released.
It was to achieve a balance between users.
But even if Hwan wants to buy it, he can’t.
If that happens, it will be difficult for Lee Hwan to maintain his world ranking in the top 100 due to tempo issues rather than skill issues.
In fact, the rankers representing Korea are Hyunsoo and Lee Hwan.
Hyunsoo also found out through the notification.
[I have very high faith in you.]
‘… … ?’
A man named Lee Hwan.
He was a fervent believer!
Hyunsoo also knew how much effort he put into building the turtle ship.
‘It must have been like grabbing onto a rotten rope.’
Even if you have a good artifact to begin with, it’s better to do something than to do nothing!
I liked Hwan Lee who had that kind of spirit.
Hyunsoo also spoke honestly.
“Actually, instead of making a good artifact, I was going to ask you to guard the forge of the current once the ‘Transcendence’ grade comes out… … .”
“I thought so.”
Lee Hwan let out a hearty laugh.
Hyunsoo is the one who takes advantage of even a little more.
There was another reason why Hyunsoo made that suggestion.
‘When you turn into an enemy, the Hwarang is the one who is afraid.’
You never know what people will do.
You can aim at the forge of the current with that weapon.
However, if you receive a promise in return for production, it is a different story.
“Is it impossible to wear the legend above the legend?”
“yes.”
Hyunsoo felt like he had a headache.
“The best one would be one of the best among legends.”
Lee Hwan nodded his head.
All Hyunsoo can do is custom-make the weapon that best suits him.
‘What is faith?’
Hyunsoo thinks about it.
It means to make someone look up to you.
In fact, if only the artifact was made better, Hwan could voluntarily remain as Hyun-soo’s fanatic.
That in itself is a very difficult situation!
“I will do my best.”
This was all Hyunsoo could say.
“thank you!”
Lee Hwan had an expression on his face as if he was grateful for even the best in the legend.
“We will charge you separately for the material cost. Of course, the cost for the finished product will also be separate.”
“Of course, our guild members will be coming to Atlas soon, is that okay?”
“It’s okay now that Atlas is open.”
“Then, please take care of it.”
His hand trembled slightly as he shook hands with Hyunsoo.
The back of Lee Hwan, who soon turns around and walks away, looks extremely miserable.
Even if a top-level legend were to emerge from here, it would only save Lee Hwan from falling for a few more months.
‘Just do your best.’
Hyunsoo first draws out on paper what kind of sword he wants to make.
‘It is the most perfect Korean sword.’
I started making it while watching the flowing molten metal.
But then someone came to visit.
It was an old man named Benjers.
“Actually, I don’t like you.”
“Suddenly?”
“… … Still, I hope you can make something great for Lee Hwan. Whether it’s asking you to guard the Hyeon Forge or something else… … If that’s all you do, I promise to push forward with whatever it is. So please… … .”
An old man named Bengers whose eyes were red.
In fact, Hwarang made a mistake with Ian in the past.
But if you think about it carefully, it was in the best interest of the guild.
“Please go out for now.”
But then someone came to visit again.
He was also a member of Hwarang’s executive staff.
“I hate you, Hyunsoo.”
“also?”
“Still, please give our Gilma a good sword… … .”
After a while.
“I hate Hyun! But… … to our Gilma… … !”
Hyunsoo hung up a sign while watching people coming and going.
[No entry to Hwarang Guild]
Then I started laughing.
“Hwarang was more valuable than I thought.”
Hyunsoo thinks.
The purpose of their visit is not to maintain the Hwarang or to protect the people.
With one mind and one heart, we hoped that Master Lee Hwan would overcome his slump and penalty and be happy.
That is, if you give them a great product, they all feel a ‘favor’ towards you.
The problem is that there are things that humans cannot do even if they want to.
Just like right now.
Tiring!
The sword that was made was very good.
Indeed, it was worthy of being called a ‘famous sword.’
Also, Hyunsoo intentionally added an active skill called ‘Master of the Return’.
The active skill called Master of Return somewhat compensates for the weaknesses of the transfer.
For a few dozen seconds, the sword’s attack power and special abilities are raised to legendary level, above legendary level.
The problem was that the Transcendent grade was supposed to give that level of power just by wearing it, but this wasn’t the case.
And Hyunsoo handed it to Lee Hwan.
“… … It’s a famous sword. It’s a mid-level legend, but if I were to wield it now, I’d be able to hold this position for a longer time. Thank you, Hyunsoo.”
There was no notification that my faith had increased or decreased.
“The commission fee will be deposited immediately.”
I felt him smiling sadly.
“… … .”
There was nothing more Hyunsoo could do.
Of course, even so, Hyunsoo continued to think about it in his head.
‘I can’t wear the Transcendence grade, how do I fix that…?’
Soon, the light disappeared and the light disappeared.
But no matter how much he thought about it, Hyunsoo couldn’t think of a way.
This concludes the production request for Lee Hwan.
‘I’m depressed.’
Ultimately, this is the first case where the client was not satisfied with Hyunsoo’s work.
It was also absurd.
‘I couldn’t have made that sword transcendence in the first place, so you’re blaming it on Lee Hwan-nim’s penalty?’
Hyunsoo felt like his head was hurting.
He knew that there was only one person who would listen to these complaints.
He logged out and went to the noodle restaurant to meet Takashi.
Hyunsoo ordered only meat soup at a noodle restaurant, and Takashi ordered only sundae soup.
Two bowls of soup with steam rising from them!
“… … That’s why I feel depressed, sir.”
But Takashi only ate.
“The broth is amazing.”
Well well-
“Isn’t it strange that there are menus that say “meat-only soup” and “sundae-only soup”?”
Crunchy crunchy-
Takashi putting radish in his mouth and chewing it.
Why are you suddenly talking about noodles?
“There are soups with only sundae and soups with only meat, depending on people’s tastes.”
Urgh urgh urgh urgh-!
Hyunsoo started to hate him.
Soon Takashi picked up the entire pot and drank the last of the soup.
“Haha! The ultimate is just ‘Sundae Gukbap’.”
“Sundae Gukbap?”
“Since it’s not served separately, you can eat sundae, intestines, and meat. Where else can you find a soup as perfect as this?”
“… … ?”
Takashi, who had just wiped his mouth with a tissue, laughed, and Hyunsoo sat up without realizing it.
“Haha, you loser. I sentence you to three meals of noodles a day for one month!”
It was a terrible punishment, just hearing about it.
But Hyunsoo was welcome.
“Okay, sir, I’ll be going now!”
And Takashi smiled slightly as he watched Hyun-soo running away.
It made him happy to see his little disciple growing up.
at that time.
“That bachelor didn’t do the math… … ?”
Takashi’s salary was cut.
***
Hyunsoo’s eyes lit up as he connected to Ares.
Absurdly, he got the correct answer from meat-only soup and sundae-only soup.
‘The sword is… … .’
But the inspiration was so great that it gave me a great awakening even though I had only thought of one thing.
‘Only when there is a scabbard can one become one.’
